Feda is a former municipality in the old Vest-Agder county, Norway. The 66-square-kilometre (25 sq mi) municipality existed from 1900 until its dissolution in 1963. The administrative centre was the village of Feda where the Feda Church is located. Feda encompassed the far southern tip of the present-day municipality of Kvinesdal in what is now Agder county. It surrounded both sides of the 13-kilometre (8.1 mi) long Fedafjorden and the surrounding valleys.[2]
